ABSTRACT:
Initially, a processing device receives a selection of one or more resources to be deallocated from a storage area network. The processing device applies a traversal function to a repository of managed objects representing the resources in the storage area network to identify other resources (e.g., resources related to the selected one or more resources) in the storage area network that at least partially rely on existence of the selected one or more resources for accessing data stored in the storage area network. The processing device graphically presents the selected one or more resources for deallocation in relation to identified other related resources by highlighting the related resources in the storage area network environment that would not be inherently deleted altogether but whose ability to access data would at least be partially impaired if the selected one or more resources were deallocated from the storage area network environment.
